Npas2 - neuronal PAS domain protein 2 Gene

Mus musculus

Also known as MOP4; bHLHe9

Gene ID: 18143 | Gene type: protein coding

About Npas2

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH)-PAS family of transcription factors. The encoded protein may play a regulatory role in the acquisition of specific types of memory. It also may function as a part of a molecular clock operative in the mammalian forebrain.
